Carole Radziwill: She's a Real Princess!

If she needs to sell used lingerie to make the bills, might I suggest to her that she revisit her budget, and not spend $300 for baby doll dresses (baby doll dresses at her age?) and $100 for nighties.  Yes, net worth numbers attained from the innerwebs may be inaccurate.  I'm just unwilling to buy that she needs to sell used lingerie to cover the overhead.  An overhead which includes a Manhattan apartment and $100 silk nighties.  js

So then, she could liquidate at any time and be worth that value, minus closing costs and realtor's fees.  Considering New York real estate right now, I'd say that's a reasonably comfortable position to be in.  

Carole has said she is not even worth 50 million pesos.  I am not sure who Carole would have inherited from-Anthony's mother is still alive.   Carole makes the clumsiest forays into commerce.  She is good with the book thing but her other efforts with Adam and now selling her undies she really doesn't think through.  She makes a decent salary on RHONYC she probably doesn't need much else.

Sonja likes her dilapidated townhouse. She also knows that she didn't maintain it, it has depreciated in value, and she could never afford something like that again on her own. So she hangs onto it.

Sonja put her townhouse back on the market again last month.  I believe she listed it for $10 million.  She wants to find a new place on the UES.

Sonja had to mortgage her townhouse to pay off the fraud judgment.  I believe she and old man Morgan paid about $9 to $10 million for the place to begin with and did extensive renovations.   Fredrik mentioned within the last year he didn't think the house was worth over $7 million.

[LilaFowler]

Well Sonja's had her townhouse on and off the market for years now. She'll never get $10M for something in that state that sits next to a busy parking garage. She's delusional.

Anyways, back to Carole...

Look, I don't have details that apparently many here do, I just know that wives are generally the beneficiaries of their husband's estate, life insurance, etc.  Maybe he was a pauper with many debts, but maybe not.

Not really since she has been trying to sell it for years.

You’re a love, Film Noire.  Thank you for the good thoughts.

Carole’s Cosmo piece:

 

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/amp18675877/carole-radziwill-cosmo-essay/

 

I’m not trying to be a hater but it’s, meh - a satisfying the word count piece.  I dunno.  I never read “What Remains,” and probably never watched her ABC work, but where is that high-achiever now?   I have run that race and my hand to Oprah, I could have written a more compelling essay on hers or other ancillary marathon-finisher-now-what?? type ruminations.  I don’t dislike Carole but she confuses me.   Don’t writers get better, more interesting, over time? Am I just hella naive?  (Probably.). Also, why is so much of the Poshmark stuff so un-Carole?  I mean she talked about her love of vintage but is selling a lot of new mid-market and  stuff; why’d she buy so much in the first place?   

I’m always curious about Carole because she’s had truly interesting experiences.  She still could, and it seems like she isn’t?  Just me?

I always feel like Carole works a little better if she has a specific defined task. Her long awaited book was supposed to be a collection of her thoughts and musings. It never came. If feel like if she got involved with a group working with disenfranchised people using social media to report on things in their communities, she'd probably do great.

[Midnight Cheese]

That’s what I failed to express, Hunter Hunted.  I think it is jarring for me to see Carole because people gave such raves to her first book, and she traveled to such interesting places at ABC.   If someone gave her a start on something big like managing the Twitter of a community, ITA that she’d do great and love what she was doing.

I dont care what kind of upper crust hipster socialite she try to portray....I just saw that she is doing an appearance with Brandi Glanville and Teresa Guidice called "An Evening with the Celebrity Housewives"...just the three of them...talk about scraping the bottom of the Housewives barrel? jesus

From the airs that Carol put on, I would certainly think that she could think of better ways to raise money, and a lot more of it.

Im doubting any of the Kennedys will be attending this "Evening". lolol

But she isn't the one raising money, she is helping someone raise money by appearing at their event.

Interesting I can't find anything on Joyful Heart Foundation website about the big event.  Granted one can raise money for any charity they want but it was a pretty big name drop.  I don't normally see the Joyful Heart Foundation referred to as Mariska Hartigay's.  I know she founded it and she is presently promoting a movie she produced on HBO.  Just seemed a little off from their usual promotion.

Brandi Glanville is most likely receiving transportation and lodging.  I can think of two more polar opposite people than Glanville and Hartigay.  

[RedDelicious]

Carole suddenly looks...old to me.  Its her style, not her physical self.  I thought she looked so much better with the long medium brown hair than the blonde wavy long bob.  I also liked her better in her more casual clothes than the outwardly high end expensive stuff like the Loubs and Rock Studs.  I liked Cool Carole in the earlier days of her run, not the Fancy (caught up) Carole she is now.

It does seem a bit off, but I couldn't find a single Joyful Heart event listed on their site for 2018. Their Twitter and Instagram barely mention any events either, though the HBO film watch party is mentioned on both. However if you look at Eventbrite, there are many more events. My sense is that Joyful Heart is getting out of the business of throwing their own events and moving on to sponsoring events where the proceeds are donated to Joyful Heart.

Not really. Last year, Joyful Heart received proceeds from a staging of "The Vagina Monologues" featuring  Kenya, Brandi, and Teresa. It must have been semi-successful or JH wouldn't have reached out to the wives for this newest gig.

Brandi is most likely receiving more than transport and lodging. As she should.

It dawned on me when I read the Detroit article.  Someone puts an event together and donates or promises to donate a percentage of sales to a charity.  I don't think this is something the charity was seeking or sponsoring. I think pretty much anybody can have an event and say they are donating to a certain charity.  I am sure the charity will take the money.  In the upcoming event it is the proceeds from the Meet and Greet ticket sales.  The non Meet and Greet tickets are expensive  $75.00.  That is Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen territory.  It will be interesting to see if they fill up a 500 person venue.

Yes -- and I'm guessing Radziwill would have something to say about how Hollywood has mythologized the "taming of the West" at the expense of how history really treated American Indians,  but here she is dressed posting a photo of Nicole Trunfio dressed like a little Lady Sheriff  ("I never heard tell of such a thing, padre!") about to fire  (her finger) at the enemy of...what? A woman's right to bear pretend arms? A woman's right to raise a "hand" gun (yeah, yeah, I see the pun) against an invisible enemy? The right to use gun-as-enforcer imagery to mark International Women's Day -- a day set aside to become aware (in no small part) of all the violence perpetrated against women on the planet? 

And this photo after a horrific run of gun deaths the whole country is talking about -- PFFT GAH ARGH BLERG -- what the fuck?

I hate falsely provocative images, dabbling in political content, that are REALLY just a bid to look "cool". HATE THEM.

Its most definitely not, its Nicole Trunfio, wife of Gary Clarke Jr and its actually originally a jewelery ad for her line and is a year or so old which males it even a weirder choice.

Yes, it is -- between tweets about selling off her closet, tummy tea and sad-faced political posts, it's like a murky mind-soup of infommercials, "meet the depressed" and a teenage girl showing off what she got at the mall.

And (among so many things I hate about the Gun Photo) a new reason I hate it has emerged:  Radziwill is letting people on her Insta and Twitter think it's her in the photo, instead of giving credit to Nicole Trunfio. So she's appropriating the work of another woman for a post honouring women on International Woman's Day.

If Carole didn't catch on with the way Bethenny treated her former BFF Heather, she is a little slower on the uptake than I had imagined.  I also believe Carole was a bit disgusted with how quickly Bethenny flipped flopped on her hate and then love for Sonja.

Carole is going to have to do better than ditching Bethenny and embracing Ramona.  As I recall she could not stand Ramona last year and had zero sympathy for her.

I am sure at some level Carole realizes that she was sold a bill of goods regarding Bethenny's angelic demeanor while having custody of Bryn.  I liked Carole better when she said Bethenny was wound tight as a top.  Then Carole went there confessing to Bethenny she dreamed of having sex with her.  It will take a lot for me to love Carole.

Well I have popcorn at the ready.  I don’t care what Ramona says, I think Tinsley and Carole are friends.  I believe it is organic.  Both are dating.  Both are childless.  Both have an income, although we don’t know from where or how.  Both get hives if they travel outside of their 5 block area. Both do absolutely nothing.  They don’t work, they don’t cook, they do absolutely nothing.

Bethenny never seemed like a good fit with Carole.  It was nice while it lasted and hopefully it’s going to be as entertaining as hell watching it fall apart.  And let’s face it, Carole needs a story line.  I suspect Jill will be watching to see how this is done when it’s done well.

Ha! -- I don't love her, but I don't loathe her like I used to (the passion of a thousand nuns is now at 500 Nun Watts).

And Radziwill did it fair and square; the marathon (and running for North Shore Animal League), her easy way with Tinsley (it seems like there's potential for fun there, not just drunken bickering as has become the dynamic with the others) her currently clear-eyed view of Bethenny -- all with nary a pigtail in sight! -- at this point, I would genuinely tip over into liking if she owned/said she regretted her ugly comments about Jules (and her wrangle with Luann over Luann's ancestry, but that wasn't as personal and ugly to me as commenting on Jules' eating.  And then there's that creepy gun photo on her insta as well...)

I am looking back at some Instagram photos and it shows Carole, Tinsley, Ramona and Dorinda and all I could think of is how did Carole get stuck with all the drunks?  Then I realized the rest of the litter are not exactly poster kittens for sobriety.

Carole is making me nuts how she carefully positions her words when it comes to her changing friendship with Bethenny.  

Carole seemed to be less cranky when she was  accusing or delving into others' and their butt sex habits, or when she pretend to be writing a new book, or using all her energy to convince the world how the very cool Adam was in love with her.

Perhaps she's leaving the door open to rehabilitate the relationship, and doesn't want to say something that would permanently harm that possibility.  Or, she's straight up skeert of B.

On the Adam subject - I'm of a mind that she was so laissez faire about the relationship because she was trying to prepare herself for him leaving.  I think she was totally into him, but wasn't convinced that he was as invested.

For sure, ZM.  It would take a lot for me to love Carole.  My post was written with a dose of sarcasm the size of Bethenny's ego.

For instance, I would somehow have to forget her use of the word 'blowies' and how she pretended not to know that lavender can be used in cooking.  And barfing on Adam's shoes.  And grabbing Aviva's face and telling her she was a nothing because she didn't work. And.

Carole has never had Kennedy-level money and she's never pretended to.  She's also been very clear that she did not marry into the Kennedys, she married into the Radziwills.   She's not her mother-in-law,

Maybe she is that hard up for cash? We don't really know her financial situation. In addition to the selling of the used panties online, she's also been doing appearances at cheesy events with Teresa Giudice and Brandi Glanville. I feel like that sort of thing should be beneath her but hey, maybe she needs the $.

[Mondrianyone]

I don't know how it works on Poshmark, but on eBay if a seller is donating the proceeds from an item to charity, there's a designation on the item page and I think on the "about the seller" page, too.  I didn't see anything like that on Carole's items or on her account page.  I've sometimes bought vintage jewelry from a seller who was part of a group that donated to a particular charity, and I always knew what/who was benefiting.  You'd think that would be a selling point and would be mentioned prominently, if true.  I'd go out of my way to buy from that seller.
